I am working on an Android Application that communicates with another device via bluetooth. It opens a Bluetooth Server Socket with the well-known standard UUID for SPP communication: (00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB).
But since the Android 2.2 update on my Archos Tablet this fails with an exception, saying that this UUID is reserved. On a Milestone with Android 2.1 the same code works without problems. Why is this UUID reserved? In the Android Source I can see the Array of reserved UUIDs, but the SPP ID is not included. see: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.2.1_r1/android/bluetooth/BluetoothUuid.java#BluetoothUuid.0RESERVED_UUIDS Does anybody know a workaround that would enable opening a bluetooth socket with the given UUID? The exception stacktrace from the log: W/BluetoothService( 1290): Attempted to register a reserved UUID: 00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb E/BluetoothService(20201): Socket listen() failed E/BluetoothService(20201): java.io.IOException: Not able to register SDP record for GlucoTel SPP E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(BluetoothAdapter.java: 778) E/BluetoothService(20201): at com.bodytel.android.BluetoothService $AcceptThread.<init>(BluetoothService.java:285) E/BluetoothService(20201): at com.bodytel.android.BluetoothService.start(BluetoothService.java:156) E/BluetoothService(20201): at com.bodytel.android.BodytelAndroidClient.onResume(BodytelAndroidClient.java: 246) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnResume(Instrumentation.java: 1149) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.Activity.performResume(Activity.java:3823) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.ActivityThread.performResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java: 3118) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleResumeActivity(ActivityThread.java: 3143) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2684) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.ActivityThread.access $2300(ActivityThread.java:125) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.ActivityThread $H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:2033) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) E/BluetoothService(20201): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4627) E/BluetoothService(20201): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) E/BluetoothService(20201): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) E/BluetoothService(20201): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:868) E/BluetoothService(20201): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:626) E/BluetoothService(20201): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) The Android Java Code Snippet we use to open the bluetooth socket: private static final String BT_NAME = "GlucoTel SPP"; private static final UUID BT_ID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"); ..... BluetoothAdapter mAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(); BluetoothServerSocket socket = mAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord(BT_NAME, BT_ID); ..... socket = mmServerSocket.accept(); We have observed this issue on the following devices: Test Device 1: - Archos 32 - Firmware 2.1.8 (Android 2.2.1) - Board Version: A32-V5 Test Device 2: - Archos 101 - Firmware 2.0.54 (Android 2.2.1) - Board Version A101IT-V6 Thanks for any ideas or feedback! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
